Ford Performance NASCAR Cup Series driver Austin Cindric will join the Ford Multimatic Motorsports team for the 2025 Rolex 24 at Daytona. He will be stepping in for endurance driver Ben Barker, who is recovering from a broken collarbone due to a holiday skiing accident. Cindric will be racing alongside Mike Rockenfeller and Sebastian Priaulx in the Ford Multimatic Motorsports Mustang GT3.
This will be Cindric's sixth Rolex 24 appearance, and he's confident the Mustang GT3 will help him deliver a competitive performance.
Cindric, from Mooresville, NC, is a multi-race winner in the NASCAR Cup Series. His major victory came in 2022 when he won the Daytona 500 driving a Team Penske Mustang. Before transitioning to stock car racing, Cindric competed in several sports car racing events across the U.S. He has also raced in Ford development vehicles like the Mustang GT4, and he has four Michelin Pilot Challenge appearances with Multimatic Motorsports at Daytona, including a 2019 win alongside Priaulx at Road Atlanta.
This year is significant for Cindric as it marks the 10th anniversary of his first race with Multimatic and Ford at Daytona. The team is thrilled to welcome him back, and Cindric is excited to start preparing for the race on January 26th.
